Elk Bullets - LRX vs HHT

[glock233]

You do realize that's the idea of a Hammer? To turn into copper confetti with the four petals sheddinng when they open up?

That’s not what we are talking about. We’re talking about the distance where the bullets fail to upset. It’s very short for mono bullets.

With respect to the oil theory, that has no bearing. It's been discussed ad nauseam but yet somehow still interesting, a number of places here. The physics of it make no logical sense.

The oil theory is that hard-to-falsify-but-obvious-bullshit stuff.

I run the 162hht in my 7prc. Took oryx (gemsbok) this year with zero complaints. I have also used the 140 absolutes and 141hbc in a fast twist 280ai on elk with great performance. Attached is my speeds with the 7prc. If you run the hammers drop down in weight from the traditional cup and core weights and run them fast.

Your words were "turn into confetti". For sure it's obvious the conversation has been about longer distance expansion. Found it interesting myself that confetti was brought up when that does have nothing to do with long distance.

It has the terminal efficacy of confetti way too soon.
